I've been dithering about whether to go back to work since ds was born 9 months ago and tomorrow I've got a meeting with the boss to finally tell her whether I'm going back or handing my notice in. And I still don't know!! I know that only I can decide, but so far I haven't been able to and am just hoping that I'll have a gut feeling when I go there, as to whether I really want to or not. But in the meantime, any insights would be welcome.
I realise I'm lucky to have the choice (I'll be skint if I don't go back, but we can manage), but I think that is what's making it harder. If I had to go back for the money, there wouldn't be a decision to make. Has anyone else had this kind of dilemma? If you had the option of staying at home, would you? I do other bits of freelance work from home so I'm not worried about not getting enough stimulation. It's mostly a sense of loyalty to my boss and the security of a permanent position that are in favour of going back. But then ds is my first baby and I could really regret missing this time with him. Aaargh! What would you do/have you done?
